NEW YORK, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- A federal appeals court on Friday rejected a challenge by a civil right group to police random bag searches of subway riders and upheld the constitutionality of the practice by New York Police Department.
The Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a challenge to the searches by the New York Civil Liberties Union, saying that a lower court judge properly concluded that the program put in place in July 2005 was "reasonably effective."
New York police started the searches last summer, after the deadly bombings in London's subway. But the New York Civil Liberties Union filed suit to stop the practice, arguing it is an invasion of privacy, and that searches will not work because they can be easily evaded.
But the court disagreed. It ruled that preventing a terror attack was important enough to subject passengers to the searches. The court noted the city's subway has been targeted at least twicein recent years, and both plots were stopped by police. Enditem
